I went out to vote first thing, just in case today was come-off-the-bike day (it wasn't) then when I finally escaped work at 7 I did my first election door-stepping for years. I intended to go to bed at 9 then get up in the small hours of tomorrow to find out about the results but 9 became 10 and then there were the exit polls. After which it was impossible to drag myself away.

So today didn't end until the not-so-small hours of tomorrow.

Never has 'defeat' felt so good!
